All Esports Game Award 2022 nominations
The Game Awards has announced the full list of nominees for its 2022 ceremony for the awards
Overview:
- This year’s event will take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
- It is set to be live-streamed across more than 40 global video platforms on Thursday, December 8.
At the Dec. 8 presentation, gamers will celebrate the year's top games and keep an eye on all the trailers for what's to come in 2023; God of War Ragnarok, which was only released last week, leads with 10 nominations. FromSoftware's Elden Ring is up for seven awards.
The PlayStation exclusives God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and Stray are among the contenders for game of the year, along with Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, Elden Ring, and the cross-platform debuts A Plague Tale: Requiem. All GOTY competitors have been nominated more than once in various categories.
Who knows what the GOTY announcement on December 8 will bring to a close? Both Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok seem to be in the driver's seat based on the critical and financial reaction they have received. Even while the "World Premiere" videos for games that haven't yet been released are the main attraction of The Game Awards, there is still plenty of fan service and validation in watching your favourite game get a thumbs-up.
